COVID-19 is not a food-borne illness. It is extremely unlikely that someone will catch it through eating. The virus is most likely to cause illness through respiratory transmission. The routes to be concerned about include being in very close proximity to many people, or coming in contact with high touch surfaces.

Help manage invasive species and restore the native habitat. By clearing the invasive species, there may be potential for people to enjoy the close-to-town property. The goal is to get the lot clear enough for it to be used as a recreational space, like a picnic area.

Volunteers will need the ability to navigate uneven terrain, use tools such as loppers, pruners, hand saws, and three-pronged hoe. We will provide training for invasive species ID and proper removal of them. Tools and gloves will be provided.

Bring:
Long pants
Close toed shoes
Water, snacks
If you want to bring you own tools, you are free to do so.

The lot is located next to the IGA in Tryon and we are meeting there at 10:00 am.

To RSVP or for more information email [email protected] or call Natalie at 828-697-5777 ext. 211.

Crissy Dzielak of Landmark Landscapes will highlight great perennials for Western NC, especially ones that are lower maintenance, and how these plants can be used in the landscape.

Western North Carolina Sierra Club group (WENOCA) is following guidance from the national Sierra Club to cancel all in-person meetings, events, hikes and outings until at least April 12 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That date may be extended if needed. Our April 9 program meeting on the Nantahala/Pisgah forest management plan revision has been rescheduled and adapted so that you can join us safely from your home. The event will now move forward and online, to April 2 at 7 p.m. Join us for this important meeting! Please register in advance for the webinar here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to log in by computer or call in by phone. The discussion will feature Sam Evans of Southern Environmental Law Center, Josh Kelly of Mountain True, and David Reid from WENOCA. This webinar will provide background about the Nantahala/Pisgah plan revision that will be critical in helping you submit informed comments to the U.S. Forest Service. (The comment period was due to end on May 14, but the USFS has indicated it will extend the period; no date has yet been set.) You can learn more about the draft plan and get updates on the comment period by signing up at the N.C. Sierra Club’s Pisgah-Nantahala campaign page on AddUp . We’d love for you to be part of this event and to keep attention on this important issue. Please join us online! Until further notice, the WENOCA Group has cancelled all hikes, outings and in-person committee meetings. That includes the March 26 showing of the film Ay Mariposa, co-sponsored by WENOCA. We hope to resume our monthly program meetings soon. We are grateful for your passion and involvement, and want you to continue to be actively involved in our work. So please, for now, keep in touch online! Watch for further information by email, on our website, and on our Facebook page.
